Resolution and Agreement for Police Department K-9 Kaylee <br />August 19, 2025 <br />Page 2 <br />5 <br />2 <br />7 <br />2 <br />Police Corporal Johnson worked alongside his K-9 partner, Kaylee, since 2018. Kaylee <br />is an 11 year old Belgian Malinois; the average retirement age for police service dogs. At <br />her age and physical condition, it would be impractical to keep her in service as a K-9 <br />team with Corporal Johnson. During their assignment as a K-9 team, Kaylee has lived <br />with Corporal Johnson for over seven years. <br />As Kaylee retires, Corporal Johnson wishes to purchase Kaylee for the standard fee of <br />one dollar ($1). Police Corporal Johnson will assume ownership and full responsibility for <br />the care, maintenance, food, housing, medical, and any other expenses that arise out of <br />Corporal Johnson’s ownership of Kaylee. In order to provide a consistent home and care <br />for K-9 Kaylee, it is recommended that the agreement between Corporal Johnson and the <br />City of Santa Ana be approved. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The one dollar ($1) payment from Corporal Johnson for the purchase of K-9 Kaylee will <br />be deposited into the Police Department’s Miscellaneous Reimbursement revenue <br />account (no. 01114002-57402). <br /> <br />EXHIBIT(S) <br />1.
